About the Compass Cardinal Points Needle black outline icon
A double-ring compass case encloses a dial lettered N, E, S and W at the four cardinal points, with a long narrow needle pivoting on a small ringed center hub and pointing north. The drawing communicates orientation, direction finding and exploration, making it useful for map and navigation apps, travel booking sites, hiking and outdoor gear stores, onboarding screens about finding your way, and slides about strategy or direction.
Two concentric circles frame the lettered dial, and the elongated diamond needle stretches almost the full diameter, which keeps the north point obvious at a glance. It pairs with map, location pin, globe and route icons from the same family. Letters need room, so place it at 32 px or larger in toolbars.
This is the black outline version of the compass cardinal points needle icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
